This change consists of two parts:
- allow libkvm to recognize /dev/vmm/* character devices as devices that
provide access to the physical memory of a system (similarly to /dev/fwmem*)
- allow libkvm to recognize that /dev/vmm/* and /dev/fwmem* devices provide
access to the physical memory of live remote systems and, thus, the memory
is writable
As a result, it should be possible to run commands like
$ kgdb -w /path/to/kernel /dev/fwmem0.0
$ kgdb /path/to/kernel /dev/vmm/guest

Instead of using a hash table to convert physical page addresses to offsets
in the sparse page array, cache the number of bits set for each 4MB chunk of
physical pages. Upon lookup, find the nearest cached population count, then
add/subtract the number of bits from that point to the page's PTE bit.
Then multiply by page size and add to the sparse page map's base offset.
This replaces O(n) worst-case lookup with O(1) (plus a small number of bits
to scan in the bitmap). Also, for a 128GB system, a typical kernel core of
about 8GB will now only require ~4.5MB of RAM for this approach instead of
~48MB as with the hash table.
More concretely, /usr/sbin/crashinfo against the same core improves from a
max RSS of 188MB and wall time of 43.72s (33.25 user 2.94 sys) to 135MB and
9.43s (2.58 user 1.47 sys). Running "thread apply all bt" in kgdb has a
similar RSS improvement, and wall time drops from 4.44s to 1.93s.

or pte-v6.h in files which needs it.
There are quite internal definitions in pte-v4.h and pte-v6.h headers
specific for corresponding pmap implementation. These headers should be
included only in very few files and an intention is to not hide for
which implementation such files are.
Further, sys/arm/arm/elf_trampoline.c is an example of file which
uses armv4 like pmap implementation for both armv4 and armv6 platforms.
This is another reason why pte.h which includes specific header
according to __ARM_ARCH is not created.
- Add a kvaddr_type to represent kernel virtual addresses instead of
unsigned long.
- Add a struct kvm_nlist which is a stripped down version of struct nlist
that uses kvaddr_t for n_value.
- Add a kvm_native() routine that returns true if an open kvm descriptor
is for a native kernel and memory image.
- Add a kvm_open2() function similar to kvm_openfiles(). It drops the
unused 'swapfile' argument and adds a new function pointer argument for
a symbol resolving function. Native kernels still use _fdnlist() from
libc to resolve symbols if a resolver function is not supplied, but cross
kernels require a resolver.
- Add a kvm_nlist2() function similar to kvm_nlist() except that it uses
struct kvm_nlist instead of struct nlist.
- Add a kvm_read2() function similar to kvm_read() except that it uses
kvaddr_t instead of unsigned long for the kernel virtual address.
- Add a new kvm_arch switch of routines needed by a vmcore backend.
Each backend is responsible for implementing kvm_read2() for a given
vmcore format.
- Use libelf to read headers from ELF kernels and cores (except for
powerpc cores).
- Add internal helper routines for the common page offset hash table used
by the minidump backends.
- Port all of the existing kvm backends to implement a kvm_arch switch and
to be cross-friendly by using private constants instead of ones that
vary by platform (e.g. PAGE_SIZE). Static assertions are present when
a given backend is compiled natively to ensure the private constants
match the real ones.
- Enable all of the existing vmcore backends on all platforms. This means
that libkvm on any platform should be able to perform KVA translation
and read data from a vmcore of any platform.

This targets the existing ARMv6 and ARMv7 SoCs that contain a VFP unit.
This is an optional coprocessors may not be present in all devices, however
it appears to be in all current SoCs we support.
armv6hf targets the VFP variant of the ARM EABI and our copy of gcc is too
old to support this. Because of this there are a number of WITH/WITHOUT
options that are unsupported and must be left as the default value. The
options and their required value are:
* WITH_ARM_EABI
* WITHOUT_GCC
* WITHOUT_GNUCXX
In addition, without an external toolchain, the following need to be left
as their default:
* WITH_CLANG
* WITH_CLANG_IS_CC
As there is a different method of passing float and double values to
functions the ABI is incompatible with existing armv6 binaries. To use
this a full rebuild of world is required. Because no floating point values
are passed into the kernel an armv6 kernel with VFP enabled will work with
an armv6hf userland and vice versa.
one significant difference: for LIB32 builds both TARGET_ARCH
and MACHINE_ARCH are defined. TARGET_ARCH confusingly holds the
architecture of the host (e.g. amd64), while MACHINE_ARCH holds
the architecture were trying to build (e.g. i386). With both
set and different, r260022 changed the behaviour to interpret
the condition as building a cross-amd64 libkvm on i386, when
obviously we're trying to build an i386 version on amd64. When
COMPAT_32BIT is defined, we're building LIB32 and ignore the
value of TARGET_ARCH as we did before.
file as follows:
1. Common ia64-specific support functions have the ia64_ prefix.
2. Functions that work on physical cores have the phys_ prefix.
3. Functions that work on virtual cores have the virt_ prefix.
With that:
1. _kvm_kvatop() has been renamed to phys_kvatop() as it handles
physical cores only.
2. The new _kvm_kvatop() is nothing but a wrapper that calls either
phys_kvatop() or virt_kvatop() by virtue of the kvatop function
pointer in the vmstate structure.
3. virt_kvatop() is nothing but a wrapper around virt_addr2off().
4. virt_addr2off() iterates over the Phdrs to find the segment in
which the address falls and return the file offset for it.
Now it's up to the kernel to populate the core file appropriately.

Fix a long standing bug, where the procs ticks where assumed to be in

logic to convert runtime. This is still too optimistic in that it
assumes cpu_tick_frequency is available and fixed. Since this function

After KVA space was increased to 512GB on amd64 it became impractical
to use PTEs as entries in the minidump map of dumped pages, because size
of that map alone would already be 1GB.
Instead, we now use PDEs as page map entries and employ two stage lookup
in libkvm: virtual address -> PDE -> PTE -> physical address. PTEs are
now dumped as regular pages. Fixed page map size now is 2MB.
libkvm keeps support for accessing amd64 minidumps of version 1.
Support for 1GB pages is added.
